A novel oxidation for pentachlorophenol, 2,4,6-trichloro-phenol and 
2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenol using [bis-(trifluoroacetoxy)]iodobenzene has 
been developed, and the oxidation products from pentachlorophenol and 
2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenol have been identified as 
tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone; this novel reaction can be applied in 
electrochemistry using glucose oxidase for sensitive determination and 
identification of PCP, one of the most toxic polychlorinated phenols.

This novel oxidation method using [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)]iodobenzene allows for sensitive determination and identification of polychlorinated phenols, including PCP, a toxic polychlorinated phenol.
